Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2,350-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2350 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of power. Our 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2350W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build- up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 39-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra- efficient one-gallon tank provides over 5.7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V 14A NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V 8.3A DC receptacle and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. Backed by a two-year warranty.

  • Efficient and Reliable WEN Generator for RV Camping
Size: 2350W
I recently upgraded to a camper with a microwave oven, requiring a more powerful generator than my trusty Yamaha. After thorough research, I opted for the WEN generator and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Surprisingly, this generator is not much heavier than my previous one, yet it delivers a solid 2200 Watts effortlessly. The quiet operation and first-pull start make it a dream to use, even in chilly weather as low as 16Β°F. During a recent winter camping trip, the WEN generator performed flawlessly, powering both the microwave and an electric heater without a hitch. The option for an "echo" setting ensures long-lasting use when full power isn't necessary. I also appreciate the thoughtful tip about using the generator's box for storage and transportation. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the WEN generator's performance and durability, especially after hearing glowing reviews from friends who own other WEN products. It's a reliable companion for any RV adventure, offering great value for the price. ... show more

  • Dependable, Easy to Use
Size: 2350W
I purchased a new camper that has a microwave oven. Unfortunately, my little Yamaha was too small to work the oven so I needed at least 2200 Watts. After considerable research, I decided to go with the WEN. I really didn't want to spend a ton of money for a higher wattage Yamaha. I've had ZERO issues with this generator. Its actually not much heavier than the 1100 Yamaha I had. It's just as quiet and it starts on the first pull! If you don't need full power it has an "echo" setting and it will run for a very long time. I recently did a winter camping trip and the temp fell as low as 16 deg F or more, the generator sat outside sheltered by the camper. The next morning I went to start it, first pull, bingo! She started right up! I just don't see how you can go wrong to use this as an RV generator and in addition to the microwave, I also ran an electric heater too without any issues. If you want to keep the gen looking good, don't toss the box and air bubble liner, use it to store and transport the gen. Cut small openings near the top of the box on the ends to insert your hands to carry it. Overall, I am very satisfied to have purchased this generator at a bargain deal! Also, another thing that sold me was talking to friends who owned other WEN tools/equipment and were very satisfied with the quality. ... show more

  • Nice generator but cannot backfeed into your house
Size: 2000W
UPDATE Feb 12, 2015. This inexpensive generator is doing well. No power outages but to be ready I have: 1. Tested it up to 1500 watts running (space heater). No problem. 2. Tested it with my Samlex battery charger. This is an expensive 50 amp charger and so draws 500 watts max. In the ecomode the generator had no problems supplying that amount of power. I hope to run my furnace and sump pump off my deep cycle storage batteries with an inverter and so avoid having to run the generator all night or get out of bed at 2:00am during a hurricane to set up a generator. The issue is getting an inverter that can play nice with your house circuit wiring (bonded neutral), not simply running appliances directly plugged into it, which seems, so far, difficult for things like your furnace. I really should give this thing 5 stars but I am still bummed I can't get 240 volts to backfeed the house with two running in parallel. They should make that clear. My son in law is an electrical engineer, and he also assumed that could be done (He bought the Honda, and paid 2 1/2 times what I did. "What's the 2nd one for Dad? Spare parts?" Bah. Snarky kids.). So, more accurate advertising, please. Oh, about the noise. My original review stated they were noisier than I expected. It turned out I had the cover improperly attached (open at the base), and that defeated some of the insulation. With the case cover on properly, and in the ecomode, this is really not noisy at all. So, one very pleased customer here. ===================End of Update======================= Bought two when they were on sale. This is my first generator. I was planning on hooking two together and backfeeding into the house. That cannot be done because they produce only 120 volts. A big bummer. However, they arrived promptly and are very nicely made machines. I have only run one machine for a short break in but here is my experience: 1. Customer support: Good. I called about changing the sparkplug, since the manual doesn't discuss their new style of changing the plug via the opening on top of the case. Got a human who was very helpful without waiting. 2. Filling the crank case is a nuisance. Pour the oil in slowly or it will back up. Put tinfoil under the oil filler opening on the floor, and put some paper towels on top of the tin foil to absorb the oil that spills. That will prevent a mess. 3. Being an amateur, I spent most of my time fiddling with the grounding rod. (How do you make one of those?) I finally got it done. I used a green metal fence post from which I ground off the paint to make it conductive. A big nuisance. Then I lost, in the snow, the set screw for the ground connector as I hammered the post into the frozen ground. Good thing I had bought two ground wire connectors. It is now buried in 2 feet of snow under a collapsed bush. I'll find it when I need or next spring. In retrospect, rebar wold work fine. Lowe's sells the ground wire connector, the wire, and the rebar. 4. The generator started on the second pull in 24 degree weather. It powered a 1500 watt space heater without difficulty. 5. It is light enough to be easily carried. 6. It is a bit noisier than I was hoping for, but, not bad. Nowhere near the noise of other, albeit larger, generators. Other advice for amateurs. Be sure you have a gasoline siphon. I was surprised to find after the snow began, that my lawnmower gasoline cans were almost empty. ... show more
